My deck is more reliable at booting at all. I’ve got some sort of issue happening. I’m not sure if my video card is going or something, it doesn’t like sharing memory, or what, but it crashes constantly on my PC.
Steamdeck is worse performance, but at least I can play it…
Paywall…
It’s about Pennsylvania Ave, DC
That’s what I told her. I’m in Oregon and she’s in Minnesota. I think it’s just new and different for her. She’s afraid of an “unwelcome element” coming into her suburb 🙄.
I was using it as a description of the age of my mother. She just happens to also personify the stereotypes of her generation as well. I love her, but I roll my eyes when she tells me about her latest scrap with a city council member and the interaction she had with the developers of the piece of land being developed near her house.
My boomer mom is all up in her suburban town councils business because she’s afraid there is going to be a “marijuana shop” that goes in across the highway from her neighborhood in the strip mall that’s being developed.
Anti-drug propaganda really did a number on that generation
Considering giving to any church 501©(3) themselves are considered “charitable donations” when it comes to taxes, this rings a little hollow. If you consider a church as a charity itself, and those churches are soliciting donations every week in services, of course you’re going to see higher charitable giving from areas with a lot of churches/religious. That said, my gripe is not with religious based charities, it’s with churches. Salvation Army can continue to do what it does, religious affiliated childrens hospitals, etc. The amount of money that is spent on congregations is just a waste and it’s a shame.

So do secular charities.
Just imagine what could have been done in the last 300 years if every dollar that was donated to churches went to some other cause, or back into the pockets of the masses. There is an immense amount of wealth that is trapped in the collective real estate, bank accounts, etc owned by churches. I’m not even talking about megachurches or the mormon’s giant stack of cash, just mom’n’pop little parishes that are everywhere across the US.
If ALL that money was still kicking around in the economy and in the pockets of people to spend on real things, building real businesses, etc…we’d be way better off.
Always makes me sad when I visit my in-laws who live in a particularly bible thumpy area and you go and there are spots there where churches outnumber normal businesses. It seems like it’s just a huge drain on the local economy devoting that much money into propping up churches of various kinds…
It’s…perfect. So beautiful.
I’ve done this to a degree as well. I used this LASIM tool someone wrote to auto-move all my user settings and subscribed communities. Pretty neat!
Has there been any posts on this outside of discord? Anything we can do? It’s been noticable and I have an alt I can use when lemmy.world is down, but I didn’t even realize this was happening.
Sigh… You’re free to go sir. Have a nice evening Mr sovereign user.
I have said “belay that order” to my google assistant so many times and they still haven’t figured it out.
Open, so that the air that gets pumped into my room can tell the Mr. Thermostat in the hall that it’s actually fine in there and they don’t need to call Mr. Furnace or Mrs. A/C.
Not while browsing on “All”, but this is easily remedied by maintaining a subscription list and browsing on “Subscribed”. Typically, porn is limited to specific communities which can just be not added to your subscription list.
go to the homepage: https://lemmy.world/
it’s on the section, bottom of the page. There are 4 links, 3 of them are different UIs:
https://status.lemmy.world/ - Lemmy World Status
https://a.lemmy.world - Alexandrite UI
https://m.lemmy.world - Voyager mobile UI
https://old.lemmy.world - A familiar UI
Yeah, I think this is the way things should move in the future. Have community vs user focuses on servers instead of having the same server get hit with both high community/comment usage and a server with lots of login/audit/user browsing requests. Servers with big communities could focus on stability and perfomance. Servers with users could focus on cool UIs and features for their users.
The beatings will continue until morale improves!
